Well, the first in-game trailer for Assassin’s Creed III is here, and I must say it looks fairly gnarly. Chopping up redcoats looks like a lot of fun — those guys really are underused as far as historical villains go (well, they’re villains if you’re American. Less so if you’re British, or from a Commonwealth country that never bothered to kick them out). Also, you fight a bear at one point! Can’t go wrong with that.

Hit the jump to check out the leapin’ and choppin’…

Hmmm, funny how this guy in a weird hooded outfit who killed half the British army with an axe never appears in any history books.
